Re: 12/4/2013 Game Thread #19: Pacers Vs. Jazz

Utah has improved dramatically since Burke starting playing big minutes. 3-0, I think, when he has played 30+ minutes (Chicago, Phoenix, Houston).

So they are not the pushover that they seemed to be even a week or so ago.

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!)

Re: 12/4/2013 Game Thread #19: Pacers Vs. Jazz

Really this should be like a scrimmage.
Pacers starters dominate and work on their issues and the 2nd unit gets a little extra time to gel.

Don't give them any life. Keep 'um at arms length.
Eat the glass, own the paint. Play Pacer basketball!

I sure hope the Pacers don't view it as a scrimmage. Utah has real NBA quality players with real NBA skills. If we don't come to play with the same intensity as we did with the Clippers and the Blazers we'll get our butts kicked.

Hayward is a good player and Burke has looked really good since his return from injury. They have some young energetic bigs with some talent. This game worrys me as much as the up coming SAS OKC games do.

They have a small starting lineup. Marvin Williams is going to have a heck of a time trying to guard West, and I don't see Jefferson being able to keep up with PG.
All we need to do is contain Burke and Favors and we are good. Roy should be able to shut down Favors, and I don't see Hill having any real trouble with Burke. Burke might be getting better and more used to playing in the NBA, but he isn't close to what Hill had to guard in Lillard on Monday.

I wanna see some major production from the bench tonight. I'm hoping our starters can rest a little more than usual because we play the 3 best teams in the league other than the Pacers the next 3 games (no disrespect Portland).
